From SOD.

Since know BM & MM exit on Thursday and DT debuts on Monday the spoiler above kind of makes sense of how they will spend Friday's episode. I'm actually looking forward to these shows. Today's show is pretty damn intense.

I think they would have to be played with her being misguided and him taking advantage. The writers have done an amazing job with having her being lonely and wanting a family so badly. I don't think it is far out to assume that her attraction to Jack would be more about wanting to find a place to belong as opposed to actually wanting him. The Abbots are very kind and their "ancestral home" is very warm and inviting. I can see her wanting to be a part of that. She also has this grandiose idea about who Jack is that doesn't mesh well with the character we see onscreen. She says things sometimes that makes me give her the side eye because it just isn't Jack. But that is needed if we are to believe she wants him.

On top of that, they would also have to give a legitimate reason for why she has chosen Jack over Devon. At first, I thought that they might play it like she doesn't know that Devon is interested. But after yesterday's episode, I can't say that it true. Besides, it doesn't mesh with what we know of her. This is the same woman that used her sexual wiles to keep Mason in line. The same woman who tried to tempt Neil by showing off a little skin and who tried to lure Cane. There is no way such a sexually aware person would mistake Devon's looks and interest.

All in all, it is very tricky story to pull off. I am interested to see if the writers can do it.

Awe...that's not true. :-) I do think that Michael and Lauren have run their course. It is time to break them up and move Lauren on to other people. I would love to see her with Neil. Michael can just be single and a town lawyer.

They need to write out Kevin though. He serves no creative purpose now that Fen is an adult. Every time I see him at the courthouse, I would why he is there.

I think her ideas about Jack are accurate based on what she knows of him. She hasn't known him that long and since she's been on Jack has definitely tried to become a better person lately. He even foolishly helped Adam try to have a relationship with his mortal enemy.

Likey are a dull couple who must constantly get their bratty, skinny jeans wearing son out of his latest mess. I'm sick of that and their hysterics. They'll never be split though unfortunately.

ITA on Kevin. He really can go. I bet its just a matter of time before Chlovin are put back together though. Smh at all these terrible couples we're stuck with.

Which is why I think she is in for a big let down with Jack...And I disagree that Jack has tried to become a better person. He is still doing the same things he always does...sacrificing anything and everything in his revenge against Victor. He knows that Kyle is/was in danger of going to jail over his espionage. If Jack was any kind if father, he would have told him no. And even if Kyle insisted, Jack should have refused to even speak about NC or Bonaventure with him. JMO.

Likey has been getting Michael's crazy relatives out of trouble since before they were married. It used to be all about the man child Kevin. But now that Fen is a big boy, it is all about him. That's why I say Kevin can go. And I want him gone so that Chloe won't be saddled with him any longer. Although I think that might not be so good for the character being that the writers are far more interested in Kevin than they are Chloe. A real shame, that.

Hilary definitely has daddy issues. She has talked about it just being her and her mother because her father went to jail when she was little. Afterwards, her and her mother struggled. Definitely has daddy issues. But I still don't see her choosing Jack over a younger version.

      I am so pleasantly surprised at how the new writing team is approaching Kate. Towards the end of R*n's run, she faded right out, off contract, pouring coffee at the Brady Pub...and then somehow it turned around and she's back in suits, woven in and out of multiple storylines, and inching back towards the business world, while having her relationship with Roman being written maturely.

      Someone apparently told Brad Bell that "playing all the beats" meant repeating the same dialogue every day.

      -- I continue to enjoy DAYS post-Carlivati. These women have done a great job in refocusing the show. -- It sounds nuts not to agree with "rapists and murderers shouldn't be romantic leads." But then you get characters like Xander and EJ, and you have to put an asterisk after that quote. I enjoy both characters far too much to want them off the show or thrown in jail. They're romantic leads, but you can't tell me they haven't faced consequences. -- I think the Xander beatdown of Phillip was well-directed -- and in character. Some people here believe Xander went too far. Well, that's who Xander is, and we've seen that many times over these past years. He thought he had family, and then realized it was all a lie, so he resorted back to his animal roots. -- The Stephanie Racy Book storyline is soooooo bad. I had to laugh that she couldn't find her manuscript in that 2x4 apartment.

      Both Philip and Xander should be in jail, period.

      5-14   AMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYY!!! Thank the Lord! lol. But at least I now have something of interest to watch. So good to see Audra and Amy reunited. hehe. I also liked the continued bonding between Damian and Nate. Side-note...those pants on SD and all of that cake is PERFECTION. Mmmm.   I also enjoyed the continued dragging of Billy. First by the son. And then by the father. lol. Billy standing there and being so insufferable and wonder why people are giving him the business. He can stay at that bar and STFU. Double for Chelesa.    And ugh at Giggly Heffa wasting Victor's (and the audience's) time with her inability to spit it out. At least she made up for it by calling Dumas directly. I was just talking about how I love near-miss in the BTG thread, but the difference here is that the Dumas part of the Damian storyline has gone on too long. So her near-miss was annoying.

      Agreeing with your agreeing, and I bet that any urge toward violence against Sarah is what will cause Xander to try to redeem himself. Even though, as you mentioned the other day, I have enjoyed the buildup.  It seems like everyone easily forgave Philip for stealing from Xander.  And their defense was that Victor wanted his two sons to work together.  Until, finally, Xander exploded and realized that Victor wanted what he wrote in his will, days before his death.  If Philip had led an actual legal battle for the estate, then Xander might have capitulated.  But, Philip made him look like a fool.  Because Philip was too smug to simply ask Xander for what he thought he deserved.  I was shocked/enthralled by how raw they allowed Xander to express his rage.  I don't think that would have been allowed before streaming, yet they show people with guns weekly on GH.  I also want to point out that there is still the inorganic nature that neither person in a fight can swear, that I always find distracting. noted for the contrarians, that is not a defense for violence  -- I assume we are all of sound mind, and know right from wrong. - I also know it airs on network TV in other countries, so they still abide by network daytime standards. - blah blah blah

      I imagine Philip will refuse to identify Xander because he knows he orchestrated this mess and tanked his brother's marriage. Eventually I hope to see Philip and Xander reconciling their awful crimes against each other and restoring that brother bond.  And Xander needs therapy. He was twisted into what he is by Victor's cruelty and has zero anger management skills. Having said that I think this was more a gross writing choice than anything else. One punch would have sufficed for sure but they wanted to show us Sarah was "right". Never mind that she created this situation by helping Xander love his brother so the betrayal was far worse. If he'd heard the truth immediately he would have had Philip arrested and fired him. But Sarah wanted Philip to be her mole to control her husband at work. Who never needed it as he's run Titan just fine on his own before.

      Oh that's right. Thanks. Thanks @dc11786 I guess Conroy did last for a bit. Never knew why AW didn't see his potential either.
